I first only knew the Eddie Parker one but I much prefer Billy Sha Rae which is much clearer in sound and with a more punch to it!!! The Hesitations is great too!!! But I guess for some, brownie points weight a little heavy on their musical synapses

It's pretty much the same wherever you go or whatever you are into !! Mod, Skinhead, Rockabilly, Punk, Indie, Skater, Reggae, Hip Hop Drum n Base, Techno, Goa, House, Schnitzel & Hack ...... so I guess every scene is male dominated although to have more ladies at the decks & on the floor ect. makes it all the better !!!

DE-LITES on Cuppy "Lover"..... ....Quite a few have been sold recently, so I just wondered if a handfull has been found ??? Fantastic track btw!!!!!

my favourite version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZaaW_nP3Xs&feature=youtu.be

Quite rough but a great blue eyed stomping version of that classic !!!!!!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIw9yQYIPks

Ahhh , now I get it !!!! Everything you don't like is Crossover / Northern Soul !!!! Everything you do like is Northern Soul !!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Well, spotted Pete but that's why I stated with all the crossover hallmarks!!!!! It's the same with many tracks like James Fountain Seven Day Lover which could be classified as Northern Soul/ Crossover!!! If both would have been discovered today they would be called Crossover Northern Soul and I am sure just because of that name tag people would say it's rubish!!! :D :D

hmm interesting, when this tune with all the crossover hallmarks sits nicely at position number 28. (Top 500) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmmm interesting in some parts dregs is often used to discribe shit which you were saying in the first place..... ''It's the absolute dregs of what wasn't deemed good enough to be Northern Soul in the first place" ? .....so maybe if you can voice your opinion about crossover ..... he may also say his opinion about crossover .... ahhhh what a drag btw. leeham, it's always quite lively on here with a lot of passion.... so don't worry, we are all nutters

He has been voted by The Honourable Men of the World Northern Soul Council and has been sworn in while this fantastic crossover tune was played at the great assembly hall !!!!

There are quite a few more genres wich still fit within the northern soul formula !!! Beat Ballads: - Donald Height - You can trudt your best friend Popcorn: - Justin Jones Dance By Yourself Funky Northern: The Crow - Autumn of tomorrow + The Mystics I really love you RnB Flavoured: Gene Carter Ring Around My Rosie Latin Flavoured: BOBBY VALENTIN - USE IT BEFORE YOU LOOSE IT Anyway, two current faves of mine!!!! Fantastic funky group harmony monster with a tinge of latin !!!! Absolute monster !!!!!!!!! and a funky Crossover Northern Obscurity ;)

Welcome to the mad house Leeham !!!! Someones crossover is another ones funky Northern ;) Well, for me it is when it gets away from the 4/4 with a drum powering relentless at 125 BPM. The drum and the whole production is also predominantly focusing on that formula giving it a pretty clear rhythem in production and sound. Crossover is quite a wide field and is described by many quite differently. But more or less you'll find late 60's and 70's sounds with a less motown like pounding beat (4/4 125 BPM) and a more complex arragement fitting the bill. I am sure the two tracks underneeth show you some crossover soul with still a strong northern feel. But it gives it musically a starting point from where the production moved away from the more traditional northern soul beat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCjxUZZUOng

Oh my god I am sure they gonna use Archie Bell & The Drells ''Old People'' next time they gonna do that silly okey kokey in Blackpool and spoil it for me forever...... Although that would actually be quite funny.... can someone please overdub the clip Nevermind, great to see so many people up in arms about it!!!!

Great post and I agree 100 % ......Moderation Moderation !!!!!! Btw I like to dance on a fantastic wooden dancefloor with a tiny bit of help from the white stuff ....but I am also the one who cleans up the venue after the allnighter (Motte)

Jesus he was just having fun regarding your post looking a bit out of place on THIS threat. Open one yourself about your music and I am sure people will contribute to that. !!! Btw the 3rd Motte Allnighter Anniversary is really going to be a great event as Marc Forrest & The Jan are going to play some monster sounds on the 11th Feb 2012 in Hmaburg ...... bugger now I have done it myself..... spam spam spam.... :D :D :D But yeah but no but WE PLAY ORIGINAL VINYL ONLY.....
